Harry and Tonto Reviews
New York Times
Nora Sayre
The muted style robs the picture of the liberating point it's meant to make: that imaginative energy transcends the generations.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
It's not easy to make comedies that work as drama, too. But Carney's acting is so perceptive that it helps this material succeed.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Desmond Ryan
"Harry and Tonto" is an unusual film which addresses itself to the matter of growing old in America and it manages to do so without foundering in mawkish sentimentality or delivering a sermon on the dignity of age.
Arizona Republic
Phil Strassberg
Mazursky is to be commended for this wonderful portrait because too few movies deal with the elderly and contain the wit and originality as does this one.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Pollack
An excellent motion picture, wise and entertaining and upholding the basic dignity of man in a world that often moves too fast for him.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Elston Brooks
The film excels over every mile of Carney's journey and in every scene in which Carney appears - which is virtually every one in the picture.
Detroit Free Press
Susan Stark
Thrills and chills there are not in "Harry and Tonto." But there's a lot of Art Carney, a warmly welcome new starring presence at the movies.
Boston Globe
Kevin Kelly
Despite occasional sentimentality, it says more about contemporary American life than any movie I've seen in a long time.
Miami Herald
John Huddy
We are ambushed and through one haunting scene after the other are left deeply moved and sometimes overwhelmed by the simple beauty and elegance of "Harry and Tonto."
Los Angeles Times
Charles Champlin
Optimism and the deep pleasure of Carney's company make "Harry and Tonto" a cheering arrival.
New York Daily News
Rex Reed
Art Carney gives a performance of such depth and wisdom that it is a thing of beauty in itself.
Variety
Variety Staff
A pleasant film about an old man who rejuvenates himself on a cross-country trek.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
You may find much of this, despite the apparent sincerity, too cutesy and self-satisfied for its own good.
San Francisco Examiner
Michael Larsen
As a slice of contemporary American life, the story's wit and humanity will be a refreshing relief from some of the excesses moviegoers are currently being subjected to.
Austin American-Statesman
Steve Hogner
This film marks Carney's debut, and it could not be more impressive.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
A seventy year old man from New York City travels across the country and discovers the joy, the confusion and the stoutness of the human adventure.
Esquire Magazine
John Simon
Art Carney's performance is inexpressive and dull enough to earn him an Oscar... The cat acts best, and with condign condescension.
Los Angeles Free Press
Jacoba Atlas
Filled with laughs, good times and human truths, it emerges as the best comedy of 74.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Affectionate but contrived odyssey folk tale.
